How easy/hard are the buttons to press? I have a $5 generic black smoke argyle ebay case on mine. Fits perfectly, buttons are easy to press, perfect grip, no lint collection, and has protected my phone from a handful of non-critical drops. So so far, so good.
I was thinking of trying the D3O case, but I was just worried about stiff button syndrome.

I work in construction as owner. Spend most of my time in unheated workshop and @ 30° I have no stiff buttons. It is molded soft buttons and works flawless. Notice it also has a backplate that is clear plastic that can be scratched but no big deal. Camera lenses is cut out. So much better in grip and also fits leather cases snuggly so it doesn't fall out as easy.

Is that backplate piece optional, or does it not fit flush if you leave it out?

It fits with or without. It comes with the piece. I use it as you can see with the scratches on it.

TPU is between hard plastic and silicone. It's perfect actually, it's not a hard case, nor is it soft and sticky the way silicone is.

i got one of the mesh cases from ebay china location. was perfect. snaps on. has a rubbery feel and doesnt interfere with the usb or headphone plugs. not the greatest for protection drops.. but allows me to hold the phone in my hand better..

I just use a rubber back on mine: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006ECAMY2/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Works great, feels great. Doesn't slip out of my hands and adds a little thickness. I also figure it doesn't attract to much attention which is good.
I have dropped my phone on cement once or twice as sometimes I get sloppy and it works great on protecting it. LOL!

Metal Bumper with Screws

Looking to pick up a metal bumper but I don't want the kind that slide together. I purchased one of those from Ebay a few months ago and I wasn't very happy with it. Looking for something that is a little better quality. The Sweet Armor looked good but it is no longer available in black. Any suggestions?

The draco looks nice, but I can't find any one who has one with our phone for an opinion

Im just worried about recption problems with metal or aluminum bumpers. Had real bad experience with some when I was still on my iphone 5 and it wasnt those cheap bumpers too.

first vid i found of it. the red one looks sick..but like all metal bumpers including this one - you will suffer one bar loss if not more depending on your signal strength in your area.

Yes it does, I just wish it wasn't $90.00.

I have a Thunder Gray Draco sitting in my mailbox. I'll get pics and do a review when I get home. When I had a Sweet Armor case on my S3 there was no signal loss. The Draco for some reason did drop one bar. Call quality and data connection wise, I didn't notice a difference. I'll check it and see what happens tonight.
iPhone 5 has their antennas all along the aluminum sides. When you put a aluminum bumper on top of that, you're doubling the interference.
Samsung phones are some type of polymer / plastic. Not as much interference. That's why Draco has cases that are half aluminum and half plastic for the iPhone. If there were really issues with reception interference, they would have switch the S3 cases to half and half as well.

Have you seen this one?

I think the issue I had with it is that there is a cutout for the antenna that the Asian version of the phone has. If it didn't have that cutout, I would've gotten it.

Thanks for the picture bigox, it looks good.
Corcor, do you have a screen protector on yours? I got the obliq and it actually fits perfect, I was concerned that some cases may peel the protector off on edges.
I was worried about the orange showing but I saw one in store it is not that bad actually. The case feels soft but I believe it still provides protection.
Did you ever drop your phone with this case on? I am planning to return Diztronic case and get this instead (yeah, 4 times the cost, but it seems like a good one, although I cannot find a single review of anyone owning this for G2)

No microphone hole for AT&T version. That's why I passed on Slim Armor, yes it looks great, probably looks the best among all bulky cases. One reviewer got a response from Spigen saying they will update it, I wonder if they updated it...

The screen protector is very thick and feels just like it's not even on there. It does not cover edge to edge, has plenty of room for a case. I to recommend this screen protector.

Just got mine in today, ordered on Wednesday.
I'm surprised that it came with 3 instead of the 2 that's advertised.
I also like that it doesn't cover the front sensors
I'll see if I have enough time to put one on today. Hopefully it fits with the diztronic.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4

How does this protector feel? Does it feel plasticy or more like glass?

I'm curious to know as well

Okay so I just put this on my phone.
I'm hating how LG design the curved edges of the screen right now.
I have the oleophobic ones and they are cut out correctly for the phone, but **** man. You have to be a surgeon to not have any bubbling edges, and that's due to the curved edges of the screen.
I managed to get mine in with only a bit of the top bubbling up, but it doesn't worry me as my hopefully prevents it from coming up.
The Diztronic fits good with the screen protector and doesn't post the edges up.
It feels a bit sticky, but that is something common for the first few days. I'll report back after I get the stickiness off the protector
Clarity is great, screen looks pretty much the same as before.
My only gripe with the screen protector is that there's a bubble that isn't any dust that is on the bottom right of the screen. I'm hoping it goes away after some use and settling.
Edit: I forgot to mention that it doesn't cover any sensors, so there's not problem with knock on/off.
Also, after some use the stickiness is already coming off and it now feels much smoother.

So far the feel is in between glass and plastic. It feels much better than plain plastic, but sometimes gets the squeakiness of plastic when your finger is sliding around
Sent from my VZW LG G2

Just got mine in today. I can now swype with a clean screen! The bare glass is a bit sticky for swyping but this screen protector is great.

After a day I take back the stickyness. Its very close to bare glass. After a little greasing up she's slick but after a good cleaning its hard to swype because the finger sticks.
I'll be sticking with it for sure though because it fits very good with my DualPro and TPU case. No it doesn't cover the curved edges but I think my case would peel back a screen protector like that.
I really love the feeling of the G2s screen and hate putting on a screen protector but this one is as close as I'll get to that silky feeling I think.

I purchased a used G2 off of criaglist that came with the quickwindow case. Upon first glance, you don't notice it. But after going outside and turning the screen at certain angles, you can definitely see some very fine surface scratching on the screen where the trim meets the glass. No matter how much I cleaned the screen, it didn't go away. So yes, it definitely scratches the screen over time. Now, I put a screen protector on it (which the previous owner didnt), and you can't see the scratches anymore. However, the silver trim started scratching the screen protector too. So now I just use a completely different case.

I can confirm that, bought mine for 3-5€ on ebay (because I wanted the blue one) and after a month I noticed tiny scratches when holding the phone under the sun. I'm not using the case anymore, well I should have, shattered the screen a week ago :silly:, but when I return it from repair
I try to fix the case by sticking something more smooth on the metal rim, but I still don't have any idea what would do the trick without looking too bad.

i don't recommend it. scratched my screen..
